Kristanna Loken
Biography
Kristanna
Loken was born in 1979 and was raised on an organic fruit farm in
upstate New York. Her father is a successful writer of novels and
screenplays, and the owner/operator of the Loken family's farm.
Her mother is a former Wilhelmina model.
During
her childhood, Loken was educated in both public and private schools
and tried her hand at several activities including singing, acting
and dancing lessons. Loken was a stellar student and came to love
horseback riding. In fact, she showcased her skills in equestrian
events and has ridden across much of Hawaii, Ireland and Namibia,
Africa.
Encouraged
by her mother, Loken began her modeling career at the early age
of 15, and placed third in the Elite Look of the Year contest in
Ibiza, Spain. This exposure led to some modeling jobs as an Elite
model.
It was
acting, however, that would prove to be her most successful venture.
The same year as the Elite modeling competition, Loken was cast
as Danielle "Dani" Andropolous on the long-running soap
opera, As the World Turns. This was followed up by short stints
on comedies like Unhappily Ever After, Boy Meets World and Just
Shoot Me.
Loken
continued to take on bit parts on other shows like Lois & Clark:
The New Adventures of Superman and finally landed a decent role
on Pensacola: Wings of Gold in 1997. She was able to develop the
character of Janine Kelly during her one-year tenure on the show
and gained some valuable acting experience in the process.
After
years of bit parts and cancelled shows, Loken's efforts were finally
rewarded in 2001 after being offered a recurring role as A.D.A.
Lisa Walensky on the TV drama, Philly. Working hard to get her name
out even more, Loken starred in 2001's Panic. But, it wasn't until
she was cast as the villain T-X in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines
that Loken got her big break. After the film's release in 2003,
people can't seem to get enough of Kirstanna Loken. She already
has three movies lined up for release in 2004, and has graced the
covers of dozens of magazines. It seems safe to say that we'll definitely
be seeing a lot more of Kristanna Loken in the future.
